🍂Chapter 77

____________________________🌱

They sat in Blaine’s garden chatting and laughing after they all got to know themselves.
Irene and Ivory are taking a nap in the house while Mrs Neave watched the TV with different thoughts running through her mind.
She’s not mistaken.
That’s Princess Marlene of King City.
She has read articles about her several times and seen her pictures in several magazines, what drew her to Marlene was that she was obviously a humble princess who avoids the camera, she’s the opposite of her brother.
It’s so obvious they are not aware of Marlene’s status yet.
She had felt so nervous to have a Royal around her and she almost bowed to Marlene when she greeted her.

What a stunning girl with a beautiful smile, she’s even more beautiful than she is in the papers.
She obviously do not want to reveal her identity to them yet and Mrs Neave is going to respect her decision even though she was kind of surprised. Most princesses do not hide their identity,they always want to be the center of attraction.

And the connection between Marlene and Irene was noticeable strong.
They had talked on and on like they’ve known each other for years and Mrs Neave was surprised to see they even style their hair in the same way.
Irene had helped Marlene style her hair perfectly and even taught her how to be so perfect in the style.
It was almost afternoon when they stopped talking.
Everyone had joined in the conversation and it was so lively and fun.

Marlene hadn’t acted like the princess she was, no one would ever thought she was one with the way she blended in and offered to help severally.
She’s really humble as the paper had described her.

Blaine had invited them to his garden after Irene and Ivory went to take a nap.
And they’ve been there over an hour now, Mrs Neave could hear their laughter.
🌱
“Irene’s so beautiful” Marlene grinned.
Her blood was pumping in excitement, she finally met Irene! Who had looked flawlessly beautiful.
Irene was as playful as she was over the phone.

“I’m just so happy to meet her” Marlene smiled.
“I can’t count the amount of times you’ve mentioned Irene, I’m sure she’s as thrilled as you are also” Blaine said.

Allysia chewed the cookies Blaine’s mum had made for them.
They had all went into Blaine’s apartment to say hi to his Mum,his elder brother was not home though.

“Blaine, Damien talks so much about you, it’s so nice to meet you once again” Marlene said.
“It’s nice to meet you too, you’re more beautiful than he had described you” Blaine said.
“Thank you” Marlene smiled.
“You’re going to finish the cookies!” Damien said to Allysia.
“We’ll get more from Mrs Marton” Allysia said, referring to Blaine’s Mum.
“Really?” Damien asked.
“Yeah..my mum would gladly give us more” Blaine said.

“Marl, come let’s get some flowers for our hair” Allysia took Marlene’s hands.
“We’ll be back” they said in unison before walking away.

“Isn’t he cute” Allysia said finally releasing the breath she had been holding as they walked farther from Blaine and Damien.
“He is! I never knew he was that good looking. No wonder he had no problem with being friends with Damien, they are both strikingly cute” Marlene smiled.
“I like him” Allysia admitted to Marlene.
“I know,it’s so obvious” Marlene said.
“Really?”
“Yes and he likes you too, i caught him stealing loving glances at you severally” Marlene winked.
“OMG” Allysia beamed and marlene laughed.

“You’re very attractive Allysia and i know you’re used to guys falling at your feet, I’m surprised to see you behave this way” Marlene said.
“Blaine is different! Im used to guys staring the heck out of me but his is just so special” Allysia said.
“Ohh..now i know” Marlene chuckled.
“What?” Allysia asked.
“Nevermind,let’s pluck some flowers and return to them” Marlene grinned.
“Ohh.. okay”
💐
Damien helped Marlene tuck some flowers in her hair.
“Be careful, i don’t want my hair getting rough” Marlene said. Irene had made the style on her and she doesn’t want it to get rough anytime soon .

“I know right…the hair means a lot to you at the moment, you’re probably not going to loosen it till next year” Damien teased and Marlene slapped him hærd on the chest.
“Ouch!” He gro-ned, sitting back on the grass.
“I’ll help you” Blaine said to Allysia as she struggled to make the flower lay perfectly on her hair.
“Thank you” She said, handing the flowers to him.
He gladly helped her with it and was done in seconds.

“You’re so mean” Damien said to Marlene who stuck out her tongue at him, laughing.
“Tch” He rolled his eyes at her.

“Why don’t we go out for a walk?” Blaine suggested.
“Good, let’s take some pictures first” Damien said.
“We’re making use of Marlene’s phone, the camera is top notch” Allysia said.
💮
They ended up in a restaurant after walking for some minutes.
Marlene was the only one who knew her bodyguards were following them. They even took a table in the restaurant but she didn’t seem uncomfortable with them as she was having fun with her friends.

“Order anything, my treat” Marlene mimicked the way they do in movies and they laughed.
They ordered meals already but it’s yet to be brought to their table.
All eyes were on them but they didn’t seem to mind.
Each of them were used to people staring at them.
A group of girls who look their age suddenly approached their table.

They introduced themselves to Damien and Blaine and wanted them to join their table.
“How ridiculous, you want them to join your table even after seeing they are here with us” Allysia said, trying to keep her tone calm..
Marlene seethe quietly as she tapped her fingers on her table..
She felt like dragging their hair and slamming them on the wall one after the other.
“Excuse me, I’m sure you two also begged for them to join your table” One of the girls said and Marlene and Allysia laughed.
“You did does not mean we did also. I’m not so dumb and shameless to ask a guy to join my table!” Marlene slammed.
“I think you all desperately need the meals you’re here for, I’ve never seen a group of girls looking like pasta…ahh” Allysia shook her head and Marlene chuckled.

“What did you just say?” One of the girls asked menacingly.
“You heard me right” Allysia laughed.
“Please do not create a scene, return to your table” Blaine said.
“And they did not ask us to join their table, we asked them to accompany us here” Damien said.

“Whatever! Can you both share your contact please” One of them said referring to Blaine and Damien.
“No!” Marlene and Allysia said in unison.
“We were not asking you!”
“We answered for them. Now will you stop being like this and return to your table. I’m getting choked” Marlene said.

“Move out of the way girls, a scalded skin together with ugliness is the worst combination” Allysia smiled as the waiter brought their meals.
🌸
They left the restaurant hours later and they went to spend some time at the park.
They sighted a claw crane after leaving the park.
Blaine won a table bear for Allysia,he picked it at just one go.
“Don’t worry Marl,I’m going to win a bigger one for you” Damien boasted as he continued to try his luck.
“You can do it Dam” Marlene encouraged him and they laughed.
“Ahhhh” Damien gro-ned after trying severally without success.
“You tried your best” Marlene rubbed his back.
“You shouldn’t give up already buddy” Blaine said.
“I’m going to try one last time. Marlene have to have one too” Damien said, rubbing his palms together.

He started again and aimed for the big white teddy bear.
The claw picked it and it slowly started moving…
They all watched, hoping he doesn’t lose it this time.
“I f-cking did it” Damien shouted.
“Yaaaaay” They exclaimed excitedly with Marlene jumping high in the air .
Damien picked the teddy bear and handed it to her.
“Thank you” She said deeply touched.
She hugged him tightly to his surprise.
He smiled,glad he had won one Teddy bear for her, it’s going to make this day unforgettable for her.

They walked out of the place and noticed it was starting to get dark.
“I wish it’ll be day forever” Marlene sighed sadly as they walked home.
“I’m glad we got to take so many pictures before it got this dark. I’m going to upload them on my Instagram page” Allysia said.
“What’s your Instagram handle?” Blaine asked and she told him.
They branched an Ice cream parlor to get ice cream and then continued their walk back home.

“One day, let’s explore the world in a camping car” Blaine said and they all nodded and cheered with their ice cream.

They passed a bar and Damien stopped.
“Let’s spend some time at the bar before going home ” He suddenly suggested.
“That’s crazy” Allysia said.
“We’re not eighteen yet” Marlene said.
“Let’s go try our luck” Blaine winked.
🍺🍺
“So embarrassing” Allysia gro-ned as they were kicked out of the bar.

They all laughed hærd… Damien and Blaine looked eighteen but their ID cards gave them out.
They all ran out when the owner threatened to call the police.
“Geez! How did it get so dark this quickly” Marlene said,quite sadly.
She wished the day would continue,they are all having a great time.
“You’re going to say bye to Irene before leaving right?” Damien asked.
“Of course” Marlene smiled.
“I had great fun today” Allysia said.
“Spending time with you girls was more fun than i imagined. ” Blaine smiled.
“I feel so great” Damien said.

They all shared a warm hug and they know right their that a bond was formed.
One never to be broken.

Allysia and Marlene exchanged numbers with Blaine when they got home.
Marlene hugged Irene and ivory bye, she waved Mrs Neave bye too and went to say Bye to Mrs Marton too.
She would have loved to spend more time with Irene but it was dark already and she needs to leave, if not,her father wouldn’t give her this golden opportunity ever again.

⚡

Blaine walked into his apartment and met his brother busy with a magazine.
That’s Kelly’s favorite thing,his room is stacked with magazines.
“Hey bro” Blaine said and Kelly smiled on seeing his brother.
“Mum said your friends came along and you went out with them”
“Yes” Blaine smiled.
“I hope you had fun?”
“Great fun” Blaine said happily. “Where’s Mum?”
“In the kitchen” Kelly replied and Blaine stoop up to go help her.

Kelly watched him leave and sigh.
He had seen Marlene when she came to bid his mother far away and instantly recognized her to be Princess Marlene of King City but he doubt if Blaine knew it.

🌷🌌

“I’m sorry Ivory” Irene laughed hærd as Ivory hit her playfully.
She had eaten all the strawberry muffins for Ivory.
They were both in their pajamas ready to sleep when Ivory said she wanted some of her muffins and Irene confessed she had ate it all.
“How could you finish it all” Ivory cried.
“I’m sorry” Irene laughed h-rder.
“I promise Mum is going to make another one for you tomorrow” Irene said and that was when Ivory stopped hitting her.
“How did you finish it all without me knowing?” She curiously.
“I..i stole it and ate them in the kitchen” Irene confessed with a grin on her face.

“Ah..I’m going to tell Dad you stole my strawberry muffins” Ivory pouted, getting under the blanket.
“Please forgive me” Irene pleaded playfully.
“I’m going to forgive you whenever you stop laughing” Ivory said.
“I’m sorry Ivory” She said and really tried to stop her laughter this time but Ivory’s face looks so funny to her and she bursted into laughter again.

____________________________🌱

“Dad, Irene stole my strawberry muffins” Ivory whined to her Harold when he came to pick her the next day.
“Really?” He laughed.
“Why are you laughing too, she kept laughing also instead of apologising” Ivory frowned.
“It’s just so funny that she could steal your muffins” Harold grinned.

“Why the sudden urge for strawberry flavor, Irene do prefer vanilla” Ivory wondered aloud.
“Well…did you ask her?” Harold asked.
“Yes but i guess she forgot to answer me. I’ll go ask her again now” Ivory said, standing up to go meet Irene in the kitchen.
“No,she’s busy with Mrs Neave. You can ask her when she’s done” Harold said.
“Okay” Ivory said, sitting back on the couch
“So..Did you enjoy your time here?” Harold asked.
“Yes! Irene got to dress me up again after a long time and the bedtime stories were fascinating” Ivory grinned.
“I can’t wait for her to come back to our house” Ivory added with a frown. “Why don’t you ask her to come with us now”

“She’s going to be back to the house soon.. probably this week” Harold said.
“Really?”
“Yes” Harold said, they really need to go for the test soon.
Probably tomorrow,so Irene will get to return to the house.

“Mr Harold” Damien smiled in greeting as he walked into the living room.
He’s just waking up from his nap.
“Hey, how you?” Harold smiled back at him.
“I’m good, i didn’t even know you were here. You came to pick Ivory so soon” Damien said sitting on the couch.
“She needs to prepare for school tomorrow”
“Or you’re missing her already” Damien teased and Harold laughed.

“How’s Ally?” Damien asked.
“She’s fine and she didn’t come with me because she accompanied my mum to a jewelry store”
“Ohh”
“It was so obvious you guys had a great time yesterday,she came home looking all happy” Harold smiled.
“We did and we’re looking forward to having more great times together” Damien smiled.

“Now..tell me, is there a guy she likes?” Harold asked in a whisper.
“Yes,his name is Blaine,a friend and neighbor” Damien grinned.
“Wow, really?”
“Yes” Damien said.
“You should tell him to come over while I’m here, i would love to see him” Harold said.
“He’s going to come in anytime soon, i chatted him up already and told him I’m awake” Damien said.

“What are you both whispering to each other?” Ivory asked.

“Strawberry muffins” Irene announced with a smile, walking into the living room with twelve strawberry cakes.
It was just brought out of the oven and it looked deliciously hot.
“Be careful,it’s hot” Irene said placing it on the table.
“Did Mrs Neave made some pizza rolls?” Harold asked.
“Ohh..yes, she made it specially for you and it’s ready also” Irene said.
“Ohh” Harold smiled.

Ivory and Damien took one strawberry muffin each and started blowing it.
“Should i help you put them in the freezer?” Irene asked already on the second cupcake,she ate it without even blowing it.
“Take it easy” Harold said and she nodded, fanning her mouth with her palm.
It was so hurt that it burned her tongue.

Damien bursted out laughing..
“Black ass” Irene scoffed.
“Huh?” Ivory asked.
“It’s nothing” Damien quickly said to her and Irene laughed.
“My ass isn’t black!!” Damien yelled.
“Wow” Ivory glanced at her Dad who was starting to laugh.
“It is!” Irene rolled her eyes.
“Ahh” Damien sighed.
“Pizza rolls” Mrs Neave said walking into the living room .
“For Harold alone” She added and Harold sat up, smiling.
“Thanks Mrs Neave” He said.
“I want one too” Irene whined, going to sit beside Harold.
“Go make yours” Mrs Neave said.
“The baby wants it badly” Irene pouted.
“Baby?” Ivory asked and Irene nearly gasped realising what she just said.
They wanted to tell ivory when they were sure the baby is Harold’s.

A knock on the door broke the silence.
“Come in Blaine” Damien said and the door opened.
“Blaine” Ivory smiled,she seemed to have forgotten the question she asked.
Irene sighed in relief.
“Good afternoon everyone” Blaine smiled.
“Oh..my..God, Harold Marshall!” Blaine exclaimed.

Of course Damien had told him about their relationsh¡p with Harold Marshall and he even knew he was Ivory’s father and Allysia’s brother but he hadn’t expected to see him this easily even though he had been looking forward to seeing the top one billionaire in San Francisco!!!
Oh..my..God.

“H..iii He..llo” Blaine stammered and Harold laughed.
“Com’on, it’s fine. Be free” Harold smiled.
“I don’t know what to say ” Blaine grinned,he was so happy to see Harold and did he just talked to him.
“It’s really nice to meet you. I admire you a lot Mr Harold” Blaine said.
“Thank you” Harold said.
“I’m Blaine, one of your biggest fans”
“Nice to meet you too” Harold stretched out his hand and Blaine stunningly took it.
Although Damien had told him how humble Harold was but he was still so stunned a billionaire could offer his hand to him.
God!

“Come sit here” Harold said to Blaine patting the space beside him.
He was impressed with Blaine and he could see why Allysia liked him.
He knew very well that it was rare for Allysia to be over a guy .
Blaine gladly sat beside him.
“Have some cakes Blaine, the pizza rolls is for my Dad” Ivory said and Harold laughed.

“Yes,you can only have some cakes” Harold said.
He was starting to eat his pizza rolls.
“Quit looking shocked like you just sighted a ghost” Damien teased Blaine.
“You looked thrice as shocked when you also saw Harold” Irene said to Damien.
“I know right” Damien laughed.
“So Blaine,which school do you attend?” Harold asked beginning his question sessions just like he had done with Damien.

**

By the time Harold was done with his questions,he was greatly impressed with everything about Blaine,he’s intellectual and has a great plan for his future.
“I’m impressed” Harold said and Blaine smiled widely.
“Thank you Mr Harold and how’s Allysia?” Blaine asked shyly.
“Ohh, she’s fine. I guess you all had a great time yesterday” Harold said.
“Yes, it was fun” Blaine smiled.
“I wish my brother is home,he has been wanting to meet you too ” Blaine said.
“Ohh…and he’s not gonna be home anytime soon?” Harold asked.
Blaine shook his head.
“We’re going to see some other time then, i come here often,this place is just like a second home” Harold said to Blaine and Mrs Neave and Damien felt so proud.
“Can i take a picture with you,so kelly is going to believe i really saw you and even… touched you” Blaine said.
“Of course” Harold said and they took pictures together, Damien also joined.

“What’s Irene still doing in there?” Harold asked.
Irene’s has been in her room for some minutes now.
“I’m so sure she’s freshening up, the flour on her hair and body is enough to bake some cakes” Mrs Neave said.

Damien stood up and went to answer the knock on the door.

His eyes w¡dened as he turned back to everyone.

“Mr Harold,you ordered these packs of strawberry juice!!!”

🌻

Harold walked into Irene’s room while Damien and Blaine took the packs of juice to the store.
She was blow-drying her hair when he walked in, she smiled on seeing him.
He walked to her and leaned closer,he closed his eyes as he inhaled her fresh scent.
He k-ssed her neck and went to sit on her bed,she turned the dressing table around to face him.
“What’s up?” She asked, unplugging the hair dryer.
“We really need to go get the test done. I want you back in my house” Harold said.
“We’ll be doing it tomorrow, Doc Fern recommended a hospital for me already. I was going to tell you before you leave. I booked an appointment for twelve pm”
“Ohh..” Harold smiled.
“I’m not going to inform Ethan till tomorrow, an hour to the doctor’s appointment” Irene said.
“Why?”
“He won’t have the time to try anything foolish”
“Even if he wants to, i doubt if he’ll be able to. Doc Fern recommended the hospital for you,that simply means no act of corruption will be tolerated there”
“Yeah but I’m seriously not going to contact that sly fox till it’s an hour to the appointment”
“As you wish, I’ll come pick you up” Harold said.

“Your l-ips keeps wanting to make me k-ss you.” Irene smiled naughtily, walking to Harold on the bed.
She jumped on him..
“Be careful,the baby” Harold said before his l-ips was seized in a k-ss.
He smiled, k-ssing her back.
She was sitting on top him as he car-ssed her body and they were really about tossing their clothes off when the door opened.
They quickly jumped apart, Mrs Neave stood there and sighed.
She had knew something was going on when it was taking too long for them to come out.
“I’m sorry but i heard Doc Fern told you both no make up s€× for two weeks” Mrs Neave said.
“I’m coming back here if i don’t see you both in five seconds” She said walking out of the door and they both bursted into laughter.

🌼🌼Next day🌼🌼

“What’s wrong with her?” Marlene asked Damien.
Allysia hadn’t talked to them since morning and now it’s lunch break and she didn’t even come to join them for lunch,she just sat in her seat.
“I think you should go talk to her”Damien said and Marlene nodded.
She stood up and walked to Allysia’s desk.
“Hey what’s up?” She asked and Allysia looked at her in a way she has never done, it’s not a look of hate but hurt.

“What’s wrong?” Marlene asked worriedly.
“I thought we were friends” Allysia said.
“Yes, we…are” Marlene said.
“And we’re not supposed to keep things from each other right?”
“Ye..s” Marlene said slowly.
“Okay, Princess Marlene Louis of King City” Allysia said and Marlene went pale.

☀️☀️

“Damn! I can’t believe she’s just contacting me an hour before the appointment” Ethan said as he hurriedly dress up.
“I can’t even believe Alex had lied to you! He said it was start up hospital and you had even paid the head doctor a huge sum of money” Carrle said,pissed.
“I’m so gonna deal with him and the head doctor is going to be killed after i get my money back from him” Ethan said, selecting a pair of black shoes.
“Yeah, he might go to the press” Carrle said.
“Exactly! He was such a blabbermouth when i met him” Ethan said.

“I guess the result won’t be out immediately,you can still get the chance to talk to the head doctor of ATC hospital before then” Carrle said.
“Yes, i have to go now” Ethan pecked her on both cheeks before hurrying out of the room.

🏥ATC🏥

Ethan was led into the head doctor’s office and his bodyguards stood by the door while he walked in.
Harold and Irene was seated already.

“Why are you just contacting me an hour before the appointment!” He almost yelled.
“Let’s begin the test” Doctor Cyril said gently.

~•~•~

They all returned back to Doc Cyril’s office after they were done with the test.
Harold was so nervous that his hands shook.
“The result will be out in a week” Doc Cyril said and he felt partly relieved.

“I guess i didn’t get to introduce myself. I’m billionaire Ethan Weston” Ethan smiled at the doctor.
“Doctor Cyril” Cyril said,less interested in whatever relation Ethan was trying to form.
“Can we get to know ourselves better?” Ethan asked,with a smile that didn’t even reach his face.
“I’m sorry,I’m not up for that. I appreciate you wanting to get to know me but that’ll be after the result is out. I’m not meant to maintain a close relation with you till then” Doc Cyril said and Ethan couldn’t believe he was just shunned!

He looked at Cyril, gritting his teeth hærd.
He’s going to get back to him.
He turned to Harold and Irene.

“Do not plan to return to his house with my baby! I know of your plan” Ethan said to them.
“It’s not confirmed its your baby yet!” Harold said.
“It is!” Ethan yelled.
“It’s not!”
“It is!”
“Enough! Imagine what the gutter press would make of you both yelling at eachother in a hospital environment. Till the result is out,she’s allowed to stay with anyone she wants” Doc Cyril said.
“Well…she’ll be staying with me” Harold said.

“I’ll be staying with Ethan Weston” Irene said and there was silence.
Harold laughed, breaking the strained silence.
“You are joking right?” He smiled.
“No and I’m not mistaken either,I’ll be staying with Ethan” Irene said, walking to Ethan whose face was almost bursted with a grin.

“Com’on, i know you’re pranking me but let’s go home. Ivory and everyone else is expecting you” Harold said, making to take her hand.
“Let go of me!” Irene jerked her hand away.
“I’m damn serious! I’m going with Ethan and go ahead and think I’m joking until you see me get into his car!” Irene said and Harold held on to a chair for support, he looked as shocked as he felt.
Irene was damn serious,he could see it in her eyes.
“OMG!” Ethan laughed so hærd.
“I’ve always knew no one wants to be with a dumbass like you” He added with a mockery laugh.

“Irene.. please” Harold said with a shaky voice.
“Do you how much you hurt me? I’m sure you don’t even know the amount of pain you made me went through, you dropped me off in the rain like a homeless person and you were even so glad when i made excuses for you” Irene laughed. “You came back like nothing was wrong after causing me so much pain,i bet you must have been so happy to see a dumb Irene welcome you with open arms, no! i had my plans. I don’t care if you own the baby Harold or maybe i still love you, you’ll have to go through the pain i went through. Have i ever told you I’m revengeful? I guess I’ve never” Irene laughed.
A pain sharper than a rapier seared through Harold’s stomach at her words,it took every ounce of will power not to cry out at the agony it caused.
Her eyes had turned dark and gloomy,he had never seen her look this way.
This was another side he hadn’t seen with her.
“I’m going with Ethan,just to cause you pain,not for any other reason. You must feel what i felt. I can’t just let it go and damn..my mum even fell sick because of you. I hate you so much!!” Irene scre-med.
“It’s okay, you’re going to hurt our baby” Ethan held her.
“Let’s leave here,i still need to get my things from home” Irene said.
Harold refused to believe all that was happening until the office door was slammed and he realized Irene was really gone..

With Ethan.

Just to make him feel the pain he had made her felt.

He deserves it.
